No information on this title could be located in the John Vassos Papers. A
publication of the Silvermine Guild of Artists, 1939, lists Dorothy Randolph
Byard as a member active with the "SILLIES" and Entertainment
Committee. A search of RLIN, OCLC and the NUC reveal that this is her only
publication held in a collection.
